(eng): This application note describes the precompiled Vivado 2013.4 Artix7 designs with the floating point EdkDSP accelerators and examples of use of several basic design objects used in the IoT applications. The MicroBlaze SoC design with the AXI bus is based on the Xilinx BIST (build in self-test) provided by Xilinx for the Artix7 AC701 board and the Vivado 2014.3 design flow. The network HW controller is supporting 1Gbit/100Mbit/10Mbit standards with HW DMA and a SW stack based on the lwIP library and the Xilinx application note XAPP1026. The MicroBlaze processor is controlling 6 EdkDSP floating point accelerators. Each accelerator is organised as 8xSIMD reconfigurable data path, controlled by a PicoBlaze6 controller. This evaluation package is provided by UTIA for the Xilinx AC701 board with the 28nm Artix7 xc7a200t-2 FPGA part. This application note explains how to install and use the demonstrator on Windows7, (32 or 64 bit) and Xilinx AC701 board.
